Chapter 379: Buy them all?

Mu Qiu nian thought Xu Tian was dissatisfied with these porcelain pieces, so he shook his head with some disappointment: "These are all the porcelain pieces in my shop. There are some snuff bottles made of jade, but I didn't bring them today. If you want them, I can have the clerk go back to get them right now. My shop is at the very end of the antique street; ten minutes back and forth is enough."

"No need," Xu Tian waved his hand. Since all the porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's shop was here, he might as well buy them all.

Because that priceless porcelain was auctioned for two hundred million, even if he bought these porcelain pieces for a few million, he would definitely make a profit.

What's more, the Tang family's purpose in coming out to participate in the private auction to acquire antiques this time wasn't to make money, but to find a treasure that would satisfy the Ministry of Culture, to serve as the treasure of the ceramic museum that would be completed in Jiang City at the end of the year.

He believed that this treasure, which could be auctioned for two hundred million and was competed for by museums and private collectors from countless countries, was definitely more valuable than that set of fake blue-and-white porcelain.

Mu Qiu nian stood there for a long time without reacting to Xu Tian's words. It wasn't until the clerk beside him reminded him that he came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Sir, you aren't joking, are you? You want to buy all these porcelain pieces?"

"Of course. You name the price, and then draft a contract."

Xu Tian took out his checkbook. For an antique transaction of several million, it was safer for both parties to sign a contract.

Xu Tian's behavior not only shocked Mu Qiu nian but also surprised everyone else in Linglong Zhai.

Just now Chen Sanping was saying that the batch of porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's shop were all fakes, and now Xu Tian actually wanted to buy all these fakes back.

"Where did this dupe come from? Does he have money and nowhere to spend it?"

"Did I hear it right? Someone actually wants to buy these fakes, and he bought them all in one breath!"

"What's the background of this person? Even if he has money, he can't spend it like this!"

"I've been in the antique circle for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone rushing to buy fakes!"

"This year, truly anyone can come to the antique circle to get a share of the pie!"

Those few experts from the Tang family had originally been stamping their feet in regret for missing the whole set of Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain. At this time, hearing Xu Tian wanted to buy all the porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's hands, they were so angry that their blood pressure soared.

"Didn't you hear Boss Chen say just now that the porcelain in their shop are mostly fakes? You actually want to buy them all? Although the Tang Group has a lot of money, this money didn't come from a strong wind and can be squandered wantonly!"

Several old experts looked disappointed and turned to look at Jiang Yan for help.

"Manager Jiang, you must make the decision. Xu Tian is acting like he's been cursed, trying to ruin our task this time. Not only did he ruin the transaction with Boss Chen first, but now he wants to buy a pile of money-losing goods back. If this continues, how are we supposed to answer!"

Jiang Yan was also angered by Xu Tian's behavior.

Idiot, simply seeking his own death!

Chen Sanping glanced at Jiang Yan gloatingly: "I didn't expect the Tang Group to hand over the task of finding treasures to such an idiot. I think if this continues, the name of your business empire will change hands before long."

Chen Sanping's sarcasm made Jiang Yan and several experts feel ashamed to lift their heads. Xu Tian was losing face for the entire Tang Group, and along with them, they all wished they could find a place to hide at this moment.

Xu Tian didn't pay attention to Chen Sanping's sarcasm and the anger of Jiang Yan and the others. He shook the checkbook at Mu Qiu nian and continued to ask: "Manager Mu, are you willing to sell all the porcelain you have on hand to me?"

Mu Qiu nian hesitated for a moment, and after weighing the money that was about to be in his hands and his conscience for a moment, he still politely declined: "Mr. Xu, if you want to buy one or two pieces to take back as a souvenir, it's fine, but if you want to buy them all, forget it. Most of these porcelain pieces are from the end of the Qing dynasty. If it's for private collection, I don't suggest collecting so many..."

Like these relatively well-preserved Qing dynasty porcelain pieces, ordinary collectors would only buy one or two pieces as a collection and wouldn't acquire them on a large scale.

There are so many types of antiques in Huaxia, there is no need to spend all the funds on Qing dynasty porcelain pieces whose value is relatively not that high.

Unless it's a collector who is overly obsessed with porcelain and has a wealthy family background, otherwise, buying all these dozen porcelain pieces back in one breath will definitely regret it later.

What's more, Chen Sanping just publicly slandered his porcelain as fakes, which already showed his attitude. Xu Tian insisted on buying these porcelain pieces at this time, which was equivalent to going against Chen Sanping.

Although Mu Qiu nian was short of money, he was after all an honest person and didn't want Xu Tian to be involved in the grudge between him and Chen Sanping, so he still politely refused Xu Tian.

"It doesn't matter, Manager Mu. I have my own use for buying them all, and I have never needed to look at other people's faces when buying things."

The triumphant look on Chen Sanping's face faded a bit because of this sentence of Xu Tian's, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

Although Chen Sanping knew clearly that Xu Tian was challenging him, after all, he was Tang Bingyan's person. Even if he was singing a duet against him now, he really didn't dare to do anything to him.

Is this pretty boy going against him specifically today?

Originally, Chen Sanping intended to first call Mu Qiu nian's batch of goods fakes, so that he wouldn't have a chance to sell them, and then wait until the other party was in a desperate situation to buy this batch of porcelain at a low price.

If the antiques that passed through his hands went to the auction, even if they were Qing dynasty porcelain, they could at least sell for nearly a million. He, the middleman, could make more than ten million without any effort by selling Mu Qiu nian's batch of porcelain.

As a result, he didn't expect this pretty boy Xu Tian not to buy the Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain in his hands, but insisted on spending several million to buy the worthless junk in Mu Qiu nian's hands. I don't know if he is really stupid beyond cure, or just wants to go against him on purpose.

However, the reason he deliberately publicized that Mu Qiu nian's porcelain pieces were all fakes was mainly to take advantage of the other party's tight funds to acquire all his porcelain at a low price and completely force the other party to a dead end. In fact, the money earned from acquiring these pieces of junk porcelain in Mu Qiu nian's hands was just a fraction of the annual profit of Linglong Zhai for him.

He was now in contact with big businesses of millions and tens of millions, and had just sold Song dynasty blue-and-white porcelain worth more than a hundred million, so he naturally looked down on these porcelain pieces from the end of the Qing dynasty in Mu Qiu nian's hands.

You have to know that among all porcelain, Qing dynasty porcelain is considered the least valuable.

Well-preserved porcelain might sell for a good price, but if the porcelain vase itself has damage or obvious chips, the value will be greatly discounted.

Chen Sanping had grown his business now, and he disdained to acquire such antiques with low profit in large quantities.

Mu Qiu nian originally didn't hold any hope, but seeing Xu Tian so calm, he couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, sir, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Xu," Xu Tian introduced himself: "But I am representing the Tang family to acquire antiques in Pawa this time."

"Tang family?" Mu Qiu nian's face changed, and he hurriedly asked: "Which Tang family?"

"The Tang family of Huaxia," Xu Tian answered again.

Mu Qiu nian was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

The power of the Tang family in Huaxia goes without saying, and even abroad, it is famous.

Mu Qiu nian naturally knew the influence of the Tang family and the Tang Group.

"Mr. Xu, do you really want to buy all the porcelain I have on hand?" ===== CHAPTER 380 =====
